Jungkook's ex-boyfriend

— Bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

Evening Seoul was suffocating with a sticky, stuffy air, but inside Jungkook's apartment, time seemed frozen in the arctic cold. He sat in the semi-darkness, the blue reflections of the billboards outside cutting sharp stripes across his face. Jungkook hadn't moved for hours, a motionless shadow in this empty space that no longer felt like home.

The silence was shattered by the sharp vibration of the smartphone on the table. The sound seemed deafening. Jungkook hesitated to reach for it—he knew the rhythm of notifications. Only one person could be texting him at this hour, despite how messily and painfully everything had ended three months ago. When his fingers touched the glass, the screen snatched a name from the darkness—"Taehyung." Below it stretched lines of text that Jungkook didn't want and was afraid to read all at once.

“You again...” His voice sounded strange and cracked.

Jungkook gripped the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white. Everything inside him was twisting into a tight, bleeding knot. He'd long ago decided: Taehyung was gone. But why did his hand tremble so treacherously as his finger hovered over the "delete" button? The screen went dark, plunging the room into darkness once more. Jungkook abruptly pushed the phone away from him, and it scraped across the marble countertop.

"Enough, Taehyung," he breathed into the void. "Just leave me alone."
